Shakespeare
PI1BUTE is beina paid this weeK to wie man
most sineulnrly responsible for the Eng
lish lanenasre occupying as it does today an
eminent rlace in the sun amonc languages the
world over for Its added brilliance m style
ereativeness and adaptability to the portrayal
of thoneht and reality. William Shakespeare
birthdav is of significance because Jt was tie
who produced the trreatest works ot literary
genius; it is he to whom the English speaking
people owe the paramount acknowledgement
in the field of drama. Because the broad,
comprehensive scope of his genius touched
upon almost everv conceivable form of litera
ture it is now possible for millions to enjoy
ii.e heiehts. depths and realisms of human na
ture as he portrayed it.
e e
In commemoration of his anniversary Uni
versity riayers are coing to produce three of
Shakespeare's more famous plays. "The Mer
chant of Venice." "Macbeth' and "As ou
Like it" during the Meek of April 2i to May
2. Shakespeare was bom either April 23 or
24. 1634. Peculiar to American movie goers
will be the production of these particular
dramas. Durine Elizabethan times the theater
was as yet in its inception. The absence of
v ..men actors was then o,uite the common prac
tice In the University Players' performance
women will be used in the cast but stage set
tings and scenery will not be much in evidence.
Particularly adapiable at present is Shake
speare to the modem movie with its many
shifts in time and place of action.
Shortly after Shakespeare's time scenery
was introduced. Previous to this period his
plavs could be only read end not acted. But
not' so in Tudor England. Very little scenery
was used: no intervals were allowed between
acts: actors merely read or talked, with some
pesturine. their linos. That small amount of
scene shifting deemed absolutely necessary
was effected by the use of extra staces. This
enabled much more speed of production than
can possibly exist on the legitimate staee of
today. The University Players' reversion back
to the methods of Shakespeare's times should
be vastlv interest in ir and well worth attending,
e e
In doine homac to Shakespeare one is
simultaneously doing honiaee to the things he
represented as they have lived down thru the
aces. Tolerance was his keynote. He was
something of a realiM and cot along well with
people. That is what education of loday is
striving to obtain tolerance. Not tolerance
in the acceptance of "let well enough alone"
but tolerance in the fcci,ie th;t every man lias
the rk'ht to be beard and has a right in the
expression of Ms own opinion without being
marked down or censored for his beliefs.
Shakespeare sympathy and compassion
for the wrongdoer or the individual at odd
with other per.p'e and the world in general
make his works live today. His enriched life;
his constant association with people enabled
him to effect profound utterance under th
iiLpulse of imagination alone. Shakespeare
wrote no satire despite bis broad range of
genius. Jt is by the continuation of such ideas
ss are found in his masterpieces that we may
ultimately hr-f-r to refu-e ihe philosophy lhat
the "unusual man is without aid; he resem
bles the fUing fish: if he rise a little, the
bird devour hi.'i; if be dhes. the fishes eat
kirn up."
NEWS PARADE

The Element $
are the Italians' t...,t effective foe in their
drive on Addis Ababa. Seventy mile of the
worst road in the world separate Addis Ababa
and the Italian army. The road between Des
sye. the Italians northern headquarters, and
Addis Ababa is very narrow and rocky. There
are several ranges of mountains to be crossed.
In place the road is vry narrow with steep
ledges on both siies. giving the Ethiopians s
chance to roll down boulders into the path ot
the invading Italians. The Ethiopians, under
Emperor Selassie, are organizing for a desper
ate last stand in the highest mountain passes.
The Italians have been tuarching thru
heavy rains ince February. The "little"
rainy season started in February snd the.
"big" rainy season with its even more torren
tial storms is due to start soon.
The Italian
are approaching the Xthiepiia heidqurtert
from two fronts. The northern army is com

The southern Iulisn array is still tryinf to
overcome Rs Nssibn, whose army is sta
tioned st Harar, th second largest city in
the country. Has Nasibu, commander of the
southern Ethiopian forces, is the Ethiopians
most successful commander to date, and is
known as the "Saviour of Ogaden for his
halting of the Italian advance in November.
The northern army of the Italians will prob
ably reach the capital first.
Croicn Prince Afa W'osan
is now acting ruler of Ethiopia. Emperor
Haile Selassie has temporarily given up the
throne in an attempt to organize a last desper
ate stand in the mountains between Dessye ami
Addis Ababa. Various unconfirmed rumors
of an insurrection in the emperor a army have
reached the erown prince in Addis Aba on.
The Federal Government
will operate at least 2 billion dollars "in the
red" for the next year if the recommendations
of President Roosevelt are earned out. 1 lie
new tax bill, which was reported to the house
today bv the ways and means committee, and
is to bedebated there today, makes no provi
sion for financing relief, which is estimated to
amount to at least 2 billion dollars in the next
year.
' e e
The Heart
of the new tax bill is the new system of taxing
corporations. This is expected to raise oOO or
600 million dollars, tho it is impossible to esti
mate exact Ir the yield from the tax.
The new feature of the tax is tha tax of
the corporation's undivided profits, or sur
plus. It is designed primarily to "soak the
rich" who, instead of paying- out the profits
of the corporation in the form of dividends
were able to keep their money in the cor
poration in the form of undivided profits
and thus escape the former corporation in
come tax. The less wealthy stockholders, not
in control of the corporation, therefore had
to go without dividends.
The new bill is intended to force out these
profits bv putting a heavy tax on the un
divided profits. Allowances are made m the
bill for corporation depreciation and depres
sion of reserves.
Opponent of Bill
argue that this bill will prevent corporations
from laying p proper reserves. "Look at
what happened to business with all its reserves
in the last depression," they argue. "Imagine
what a panic there would have been if the cor
porations hadn't been allowed to lay up re
serves." Another argument against the bill is
that there are too many accounting and legal
loopholes for escape from the tax. so that the
vield would be much less than anticipated.

Literary
Tett.
At Princeton, a rather unuual educational
experiment has been completed with Kratifyine
success. Like Cornell, Princeton does not in
clude a course in contemporary English litera
ture In its curricnlnm. This year, such a course
was conducted entirely outside of the regular
English curriculum and without either regis
tration or required attendance.
That the course was successful is best in
dicated by the ematine number of students
who attended every lecture despite the fact
that they received no academic credit. Fur
thermore, such attendance was a concrete ex
pression of sppreciation for the three Prince
ton professors who so generously contributed
their services.
The success of Princeton's experience Is
not, of course, a sifn thst a similar course
would be similarly received st Cornell. Many
other universities in this country, however,
hsve loaf since recognized tee contributions
snd importance of contemporary American and
English litersture by mskin provision lor
them in the curriculum. If our English de
partment doubts the necessity or desirability
of a course in modern literature, it could find
no better testing than Princeton's co-operstive
experiment Cornell Daily Sun-
On ThinR
Academic.
"In the spring a young man's fancy turns
" nwny from things academic. Books grow
musty, classroom walls turn to frowning prison
lwirs. As a direct outgrowth of this feeling of
boredom with study, there arises Ihe sge old
question of whether or not an academic educa
tion is of any worth.
Many arguments are advanced against
college. The principal one is that it does not
fit. one for anything in particular. The future
is vague. Employment bureaus do not guar
antee "white collar" jobs. We know of a
former honors student from Cornell who is
now behind a soda fountain and an engineer
from M. 1. T. who is a garage assistant on a
back street in a New Jersey town. It is a
rather drab picture.
But should a college function as an em
ployment bureau? Most assuredly not, we be
lieve. To assure a graduate a position is as
foolish as it is impossible. In the last analysis
the modern university and college exist for the
purpose of teaching the fundamental truths of
life and living. If properly used, a college can
take a boy who has little conception of what
his fellow humans are really like and mold him
into a mnu who understands human nature,
can co-operate with others, And perhaps lead
them.
A college education is capable of develop
ing personality, and of bringing out and cor
relating the traits that are peculiar to every
human being. When the student realizes this
fully, he will see the futility of bemoaning the
fact that his college is not a glorified employ
ment bureau. If he has obtained broad knowl
edge, he has obtained a great inner resource
that will Jet him see beyond the immediate
present, the office, job. and the home in
suburbs. Brown Daily Herald.
the
The Scholarship
Manifesto.
Students of the university, unite! Break
the ties that bind you. Ton have everything
to gain and only grades to lose. For decades
the bourgeois professors have held the blnd
eeon of grades over your heads. You have
been serfs in that unholy power. The grading
pen has been the whip of your subjugation.
Its ink has made scars on your backs.
These pedagogic moujiks are not, because
of their academic titles, deities that you must
serve for four years. The grades that they
srive you are but hollow, meaningless symbols
that have become the fetish of a misguided
educational system.
Raise your thumbs to your nose in answer
to the system under which you are enslaved.
Ketaliate in like manner and grade your pro
fessors 1 If they can wield Ihe scepter of such
a false pod. you too are capable.
Grade these professors on their lectures,
on the effectiveness of their quizzes, on their
punctuality, on the preparation of their les
sons, on their personal appearance, and on
their personality. It is these same things lhat
establish your grades. Any one of the above
points could decide for them ihe difference be
tween A or a B a D or an F.
But grade the poor professors fairly. They
can profit by your long experience with their
kind. And when Ihey take your hint as to
your judgment of their qualities and abilities,
perhaps you, too. will profit.
And they will see the fallacy of 1 heir
tyrannical pen-point power. University Daily
Kansan.
